As explained by Nick in the original issue: the kernel usually does a
good job of providing library helpers that have similar semantics as
their ordinary userspace libc equivalents, but -ffreestanding disables
such libcall optimization and other related features in the compiler,
which can lead to unexpected things such as CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE not
working (!).
However, due to the desire for better control over unaligned accesses
with respect to CONFIG_ARCH_STRICT_ALIGN, and also for avoiding the
GCC bug https://gcc.gnu.org/PR109465, we do want to still disable
optimizations for the memory libcalls (memcpy, memmove and memset for
now). Use finer-grained -fno-builtin-* toggles to achieve this without
losing source fortification and other libcall optimizations.
